Students in my major are taught to understand and manipulate situations governed by the laws of physics, especially where these situations differ from standard intuition. The more practical skills learned involve the operation of laboratory environments and complex problem solving. This training provides a good base, but does not always prepare a student for their particular career.
Physicists can end up in a wide variety of fields ranging from education to medicine. The skills developed in a physics education can apply to most fields requiring the operation of advanced machinery or analysis of complex operations.
I chose to study physics because I find the kind of problem solving and discovery fun. The most exciting work in the field has gained a good bit of attention recently. Everything that CERN does is awesome in the old sense of the word. The LIGO Gravity wave discovery has everyone ecstatic. Biophysics in general is always doing something interesting.
Some of the bigger journals in Physics follow;
-Reviews of Modern Physics
-Nature Physics
-Physics Report
-Nature Materials
